That seems way better than a membership in a jelly-of-the-month club.

Sounds like the company I used to work for, although they had a slightly different split. $9.99 million to the CEO, $20 Starbucks cards to everyone else.

I took my company Xmas gift of $50.00 gift certificate to Home Depot and ran.
BTW: I found out that Home Depot doesn’t carry any alcohol, after much debate…

I dunno. If you work for a company that gives you 50K or more at the end of the year, ya gotta kinda wonder what business you’re really into. If it were me, I’d start by reckoning up the number of shell corporations I’d heard about over the past year. OTOH, maybe I’ve just been outta the private sector too long.

I wonder how large the bonuses were to the people who maintain and clean these properties. If they existed at all, I’d be very surprised if a lot of those jobs aren’t outsourced to another company.

Maybe these bonuses are unusual in size for this company or this industry, but in tech and finance in high cost of living areas annual bonuses on this scale are status quo.

I guess they aren’t one of those developers that “develop” low income areas into something low income people cannot afford anymore, otherwise they wouldn’t be put up as a positive example here right?
With real estate that kind of profit wasn’t created out of thin air and will in one way or another have been “subsidised” by the public.

@Papasan didn’t say he wanted to drink it.
(I use denatured alcohol to mix up shellac, but occasionally I think about using Everclear instead, since it seems wrong to add something so poisonous to the shellac, which is edible.)

This was on top of the bonuses that might have been part of someone’s annual compensation.
